As the food writer Diana Henry says, chicken is “the meat most people – even those who aren’t keen on meat – will eat”. In her new book, she has amassed 120 recipes for this most versatile of ingredients; 10 of them are here, from a spicy paprika roast to a boozy bourbon and marmalade glaze.
Recipes extracted from A Bird in the Hand by Diana Henry, published by Mitchell Beazley. Buy from the Times Bookshop for £18 (RRP £20), free p&p, on 0845 2712134; timesbooks.co.uk
